UCP leadership candidates talking education at ATA forum

Six of the seven United Conservative Party candidates vying for the party’s leadership will discuss education spending, policy and the future of education in Alberta with teachers from across the province this afternoon.

The public education forum at this year’s Alberta Teachers’ Association summer conference is set to take place at 1 p.m. at the Banff Centre.

Leela Aheer, Todd Loewen, Danielle Smith, Rebecca Schulz and Rajan Sawhney will attend the event in person, while Brian Jean will be dialed in via Zoom.

Travis Toews will not be participating, citing a scheduling conflict.
